Up Close and Personal by David Lee Pdf

An in-depth analysis of what it was really like to fight at the sharp end in every theater of the Second World War from the author of Beachhead Assault. In 1947, US General S. L. A Marshall controversially wrote that out of every one hundred combat soldiers only fifteen to twenty-five actually fired their weapons at the enemy, because of the innate human reluctance to take another’s life. Others maintained the opposite view that soldiers enjoyed killing. David Lee demonstrates that the situation was far more complex than either of these positions, arguing that the crucial factor for a unit’s success in battle was the type of training it received. To illustrate this Lee covers actions from each theater of the war, in depth and with comprehensive coverage of weapons and tactics. First there is the story of what happened when a battalion of British soldiers trained in the traditional manner came up against the Waffen SS, whose training was formidable and bore close resemblance to the Commandos. The success of No. 4 Commando at Dieppe is covered to show how this was put into effect. For the desert war there is a detailed look at how a rifle battalion held the snipe position against overwhelming odds, and how that same battalion was virtually wiped out when it later went to Italy. For the Far East, Lee explains how hatred of the Japanese Army gave impetus to British soldiers fighting at Kohima and American soldiers at Iwo Jima. And finally there is the story of one US infantry regiment on D-Day.

Up Close and Personal by Cris Shore,Susanna Trnka Pdf

Combining rich personal accounts from twelve veteran anthropologists with reflexive analyses of the state of anthropology today, this book is a treatise on theory and method offering fresh insights into the production of anthropological knowledge, from the creation of key concepts to major paradigm shifts. Particular focus is given to how 'peripheral perspectives' can help re-shape the discipline and the ways that anthropologists think about contemporary culture and society. From urban Maori communities in Aotearoa/New Zealand to the Highlands of Papua New Guinea, from Arnhem Land in Australia to the villages of Yorkshire, these accounts take us to the heart of the anthropological endeavour, decentring mainstream perspectives, and revealing the intimate relationships and processes that create anthropological knowledge.

God, Up Close and Personal by Gwenn McKone Pdf

What is God like? Does He have a personality? The answer is a resounding "Yes!" In God, Up Close and Personal, the reader will go on a journey through many of God's character traits, which are a bit like ours, but in a "God" kind of way. We were created in His image, so it shouldn't be surprising that God can be jealous, generous, heroic, tender, romantic or even wounding. By exploring the evidence of God's personality sprinkled throughout the Bible, and adding a generous helping of the author's own experiences with the great "I AM," God's character begins to take shape in this book, and even to shimmer with His glory.
